Welcome to the first post for 2018.
New Years Eve went ok and I had a lot of messages about the lively 50s/60s/70/s music - all favourable.
Here's the programme until early June.
Going through most of the year at 5.30 is a serial in 37 parts -The Air Adventures of Biggles. This is the 3rd and last of these Biggles stories I have. I hope you enjoy it.
There is no problem finding material for the 6.30 slot from the archives of wireless, nor the programmes from the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club at around 8pm or so. I recently had an email from one of the past members of the Club who thought it was a good idea to play these quirky items.
After the book "The Harp in The South" has been read, the next book "The Promise Of The Wolves" will be read. It's in 16 parts.
Happy Listening,
Trevor
